4 stars (Very Good) Emphatically not an action movie but a slow, meditative mood piece, and as visually rich an evocation of another world as you'll ever see. If you prefer images over incidents, or The Moment over momentum, it's a gem. ~fairbrother
3 stars (Good Enough) It is worth watching for its exceptionally high production values. ~Tubbs
